Statistics reveal the Creative Industries sector is growing more than five times faster than the national economy* Hard working students with good branding & graphic design skills are highly prized and a high proportion of our students choose to develop their potential by progressing to Higher Education In recent years our students have gone on to study on courses such as Graphic Design, Graphic Comms, Digital Design at universities such as Kingston, UAL, NUA and University Centre Colchester *www.gov.uk/government/news/uks-creative-industries-contributes-almost-13-million-to-the-uk-economy-every-hour Where are they now? George O’Byrne, completed the Diploma this year and is going on to study BA Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts, he says: “I knew I wanted to progress to university to study graphic design, but I felt that I needed to develop my skills and knowledge that one step further The industry based briefs were so enjoyable and varied, and my digital skills have improved massively giving me much more confidence in designing and producing my work The tutors helped me develop my knowledge and prepare me for the next stage in my studies“ In terms of preparing for September, make sure you have the following, as your own kit will be vital in your new environment: •USB memory stick at least 128GB •Black A4 Pocket display book (not ring bound) 40 pages •Smartphone or digital camera for recording work •A good quality sketchbook (not ring bound as these often not last / stapled or sewn) •Drawing pencils and eraser •Pens for writing! •Small scissors and Pritt Stick And anything else to compliment your own pencil case the college will no longer provide shared equipment Be sure to check out the work from the 2020/2021 graduating students, click here to view all their exciting highlights from the year: http://www.colchester.ac.uk/presentation/ school-of-art
